Contact checks
Email and phone verification help keep accounts reachable and reduce low-effort spam.
Verification
Layered verification without unnecessary friction at signup.
TrustedPerch separates basic account access from higher-trust actions. That keeps onboarding simple while still raising the bar before listings publish, deposits move, or lease workflows begin.
Property checks
Listing review looks for support that the property exists and that the host has a credible connection to it.
Professional context
Travelers can strengthen profiles with healthcare or assignment context when they want to stand out to hosts.
Identity checks
Higher-assurance workflows can request identity verification before lease, deposit, or protection features continue.
How it works
Trust is a workflow, not a badge.
Account
Start with reachable accounts.
Basic verification helps us confirm a user can receive important notices and keeps obvious spam out of messaging.
Listing
Verify the property before publishing.
Hosts can build their listing, but publication depends on a review of property details and supporting evidence.
Stay
Increase assurance when the risk increases.
Lease, deposit, and protection workflows may require stronger checks than basic account creation.
Questions
What users should know.
Why not require every check during signup?
Because that creates friction before the user has done anything high-risk. TrustedPerch adds stronger checks when the user reaches an action that needs stronger assurance.
Can a host draft a listing before verification is complete?
Yes. A host can prepare listing details, but the listing should not be searchable until the property verification workflow is complete.
Can travelers add verification signals?
Yes. Travelers can use profile signals to help hosts understand who is requesting the stay, especially for healthcare assignment housing.
